He left Rennes and joined Ligue 2 club Tours on 6 August 2010, signing a three-year contract.[5] On 4 June 2013, Oniangué agreed to join Ligue 1 side Reims on a three-year contract.[6] In December 2014 he extended his contract at the club until 2019.[7]

On 15 August 2016, Oniangué signed a four-year contract with English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.[8] He made his club debut on 20 August 2016 coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 win against Birmingham City.[9] He scored his first goal for the club on 10 September 2016 in a 1–1 draw against Burton Albion.[10]

After falling out of favour with then Wolves head coach Paul Lambert, on 16 January 2017, Oniangué joined Ligue 1 club Bastia for the rest of the 2016–17 season.[11]

In January 2018, he joined Angers for second half of the 2017–18 season.[4] On 12 July 2018, Oniangué moved to Ligue 1 club Caen on a permanent deal.[12] In June 2022, he was released from the club at the expiration of his contract.[13]
